"Little Birdy"
D
Little birdy, little birdy
AD
Won't you sing to me your song
D
Got a short time to stay here
AD
And a long time to be gone
D
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
AD
Where the sun don't ever shine
D
Than for you to be another man's darling
AD
And to know that you'd never be mine
D
Little birdy, little birdy
AD
What makes you fly so high
D
When you know that my true lover
AD
Is a-waiting in the sky
D
I'm a long way from old Dixie
AD
And my old Kentucky home
D
Got no father or mother
AD
No place to call my home
D
Little birdy, little birdy
AD
What makes your head so red
D
Well, after all that I been through
AD
It's a wonder I ain't dead
D
Married woman, married woman
AD
Why don't you settle down
D
Your heart's like the little birdy's
AD
You're flying all a-round
D
Little birdy, little birdy
AD
Won't you sing to me your song
D
You've caused me lots of trouble
AD
You've caused me to do wrong
